Description
A rich and creamy no-bake Chocolate Orange Pie recipe featuring a crunchy Oreo crust, zesty orange filling, and a glossy chocolate ganache topping. Perfect for any celebration or citrus-chocolate lover.
Ingredients
Crust:
24 Oreo Cookies
¼ cup melted unsalted butter
Orange Filling:
3 ounces orange Jell-O (1 box)
2 teaspoons orange extract
½ cup orange juice
2 ½ cups whipped topping
11 ounces mandarin oranges (1 can), drained
Chocolate Ganache Topping:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional Decoration:
Reserved mandarin slices
Remaining ganache (for piping)
Instructions
1. Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Add melted butter and pulse until well combined.
2. Press mixture into an 8-inch pie pan and refrigerate while preparing the filling.
3. In a bowl, stir together Jell-O, orange extract, and ⅔ cup boiling water until dissolved.
4. Pour ½ cup orange juice into a measuring cup and add ice to reach 1 cup. Stir into the Jell-O mixture until slightly thickened. Remove ice.
5. Whisk in whipped topping until fully combined. Refrigerate 20 minutes until it holds shape.
6. Pat mandarin oranges dry. Reserve a few for topping if desired.
7. Spread half of the orange filling into the crust. Add mandarin slices, then spread remaining filling over them. Chill 30 minutes.
8. Heat heavy cream to boiling. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 4 minutes. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
9. Let ganache cool for 5–10 minutes. Pour 1 cup over the pie. Allow to cool at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, then refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
10. Optional: Pipe remaining ganache around edges and top with mandarin slices before serving.
Notes
To slice cleanly through the ganache layer, use a knife warmed under hot water and wipe clean between cuts.
For best results, avoid sugar-free or light products, which may affect the texture and stability.
Chill overnight for cleanest presentation and best flavor.
